This was in the USA, but a long time ago. The cops were going to get a warrant supposedly but I had rented from that person for some time, in different units, and I think they made a judgement call knowing that is was going to happen, and if they approved I wouldn’t have to follow up on the warrant. That particular landlord was actually really great. I’m not sure if they made the right decision but I didn’t have to go to court or anything, which I would have if a warrant to search was made.

I have an uncle who was an attorney who lives in Philadelphia and did a lot of work on tenant’s rights in the 70s, but this was in a different state and definitely didn’t have as great a situation. Maybe it is better now.

I worked in a high school for a number of years where my role was to manage things like after school programming, spring break trips, and certain things during the school day. We would also do weekend adventure trips when possible. At one point during this, I had an awful roommate who was into a lot of illicit substances.

During my time living with said roommate, I took students on a two night backpacking trip over the weekend. I came back to see that my room had been (from my perspective) ransacked. I could not reach my roommate, and decided that one of their drug buddies may have robbed me. Later that evening, roommate came back and I learned them and a friend got too wild, cops were called, and a search was performed on the entire apartment. Including my room. Nothing was found in my room, but I had a lot of putting away to do. At least I was not robbed, I guess.

My landlord called me the next day to tell me they were called by cops for consent because I was unreachable, and landlord knew I would have nothing to hide, but felt terrible and began immediate eviction on roommate.

I agree with this. I’m not sure it is fair to compare Craigslist to social media, even tho it did have a social section. That section was closer to Usenet in my opinion. I wish Craigslist and/or the local classifieds were used more where I live.

Agreed. Except for one time last fall, I knew it was going to happen and did it anyway, thru the company’s website. That one company had their own portal and everything, didn’t know it came from amazon until it arrived 🤷 I’ll do it again! If I was selling stuff I am sure I would have to look at these few options out there.

Great point. The limited times I have purchased from Amazon in recent history was accidentally in this manner. I think that purchasing directly from the creator’s/company’s website might send a message that some folks would like an alternative, but I don’t know that. Either way, it is less amazon.

I’ve had a body high from a poo, it is pretty remarkable, but the lead up was different and not something I want to repeat. Maybe I will try some Italian food!

Eating a spicy meal that is at my max tolerance such that I can continue to eat as normal. I can get a high from that 🥵😋

Wow that actually seems really good.

What is the shelf life for these?

I am about to switch to a pixel 7a from a 3a and am facing this issue. My wired ear buds date to some type of sandisk mp3 player I bought about 15 years ago and are pretty rough, so I have been looking at my wired options. Thanks for this post!

When I was a teenager, I worked in a garden department of a store. We had plants to water. The pipes for the water had shutoffs in the ceiling in addition to the faucets themselves. I was working over the weekend and needed to water the plants, but no water would come out. The ceiling shutoffs were open, but I had heard there was a master shutoff just inside the store.

So I went in and was looking around on the walls, following pipes, and found this very large pipe with a shutoff on it. It had a tag hanging on it that said “emergency test” but my teen brain thought this meant it had been tested and passed inspection.

I turned it on and went outside, only to find an enormous amount of water coming out a different pipe, some kind of drain. Not what I wanted! When I reentered the store, the fire alarm was going off, but I thought nothing of it, shut the valve, and went about my business. By the time I got back outside, the fire department was there.

About 15 minutes later, fire folks in full gear were in my area poking around with the boss. I asked what happened, and they said for some reason there was a pressure drop in the sprinkler system and it triggered an automatic response 😬 I told them what I did, and they said they were too old for this, and then left. Not a great decision for me that day…

I didn’t like cottage cheese until I was 38. I kept trying it, not sure what changed.

I am wondering about this, also. I have a regular watch, with a “plastic” band. Why would PFAS be used in these bands? Ridiculous.

Chattanooga, Tennessee did something like that, but when they tried to expand outside of the city they were shut down

Wow, I was considering switching to that from Mailfence but maybe not. Maybe I will look at the other options or sit still to see what happens over the next 30 days.

What walks on four legs at dawn, two legs at noon, and three legs at dusk?

I recently bought buttermilk that had “no gluten” as an ingredient…

or ones set up to be retuned on site at the track

I ignored this excellent point. Definitely lots of folks who have street legal vehicles (or race in street legal circuits) that have to run gasoline and tune for that. Thanks for pointing it out 🙂

Race gas is not super spicy gasoline

The higher the octane, the less flammable it is

Not to further fuel the learned terrorists, but race gas generally isn’t gasoline, like your first statement. I don’t think any racing orgs allow pure alcohol anymore in the US, but some related form or nitromethane. Anyway, none of this belongs in a regular car, either 😬
